Any high end scanner will be able to access the system. It dosen't have to be a dealer.

Hello: To repair you need to know the code so you know what component is malfunctioning. Many things can bring the light on. Most generic scanners can not access the stability system. GM Tech 2 can.

What does it mean when the service stability system light comes on?

It means that your gonna have to take it to the dealer to get it checked .is this a Cadillac product. Stability is keeping the vehicle level at all times and the light is on because the computer either has to low voltage to operate correctly or to high.it needs scanned to find out the real cause of why it came on.

Hi,I have a 2002 Escalade and my Service Stability System light came on. What does it mean and how much will it cost to fix it? [email protected]

Service Stability System light comes on when your tires are not gripping the road correctly, this assumes that the truck is sliding and the driver had no control. From what I noticed with mine is that it will disable power to the transmission untill traction is regained around 10 to 20 seconds. I had to shift to netural then back to drive to re-engage the trans. This is a saftey feature that I was impressed with. I paid about 300 to have the dearler replace the part, but I'm quite sure you can get it fixed for less.

2002 Cadillac Escalade 4x4 When turning front wheels pop like in 4 wheel drive. Now the service stability system light is on full time also the ABS light. I have had it at two dealers one couldn't figure...

If you think the dealer caused it get a hold of GM district rep .Talk to the service manager . If the dealer Technician's can't fix it , get the factory involved . In most cases if it is something they did they need to take care of it ,free .

2002 Cadillac Escalade Service Stability System Light comes on

The problem is the wheel bearings that have the ABS sensor attached. Check the computer for the code as there is also an up date for the wiring sytem with a jumper for $60 fix that possible could solve the problem.

Stabily system diabled - error

Your stability control uses the ABs wheel speed Sensors and the steering collumn sensor to know "when you need more stability". It sounds as if the front wheel speed sensor is sending bad info due to:
A) corrosion under the sensor causing erratic readings
B) front wheel bearing failing causing erratic readings
C) column sensor failing causing erratic readings


The GM dealer is the only place I know to have THOSE components tested. You can change any of these sensors yourself once you know which one it is. The "service stability" indicator is on because one of the sensors is not giving correct data, and the default mode is to disable the system. 

Good luck and hope this helps,

Service stability system light wont go off n 2002 escalade

Hi. this is a very important alert. the stability system on this suv is very sophisticated. there are many sensors that work together with other modules and control units to keep this SUV from rolling over during an abrupt action, due to an extreme situation.This light is warning you of a appending fault that is occurring in one or more of the sensors on board. the best solution is to take your suv to the dealership for a brisk cpu scan. This way, you can find put which sensor it is that is malfunctioning and fix it.

Please rate and god bless:)
